In this episode, I share some hard lessons I’ve learned about accountability and self-reflection—lessons that changed my life. From my fitness journey to leadership challenges in the blue-collar world, I’ve seen firsthand how easy it is to point blame at outside circumstances instead of owning what’s on me. Through the "mirror vs. window" metaphor, I dive into how taking ownership of your mindset, actions, and reactions can transform how you handle adversity. Whether it’s pushing through dark times or striving for greatness, it all starts with what you see in the mirror. Let’s talk about how to step up, stay grounded, and create real change.

Key Topics:

• Why self-reflection beats blaming external circumstances every time.
• How accountability changes the game in fitness, work, and life.
• Practical tools I’ve used to push through hard times and keep moving forward.
• Why controlling your reactions is the key to lasting change.
